Raleigh Central Chiropractic & Rehab in Glenwood South
Raleigh Central Chiropractic & Rehab has cared for patients near Downtown Raleigh for over 23 years. We look past symptoms to the cause of pain and rebuild strength from head to toe.
How Raleigh Central Chiropractic & Rehab Began Its Work
Raleigh Central Chiropractic & Rehab has served Glenwood South, on the edge of Downtown Raleigh, for more than 23 years. The goal has stayed the same the whole time. We want patients to feel better, and we want them to stay that way.
Too many people put off care until pain stops them from working, sleeping or training. We would rather help you build habits that protect your spine and joints long before that point. Healthy posture and comfortable movement influence how you feel at your desk, at home and in the gym.
Patients come to us from all over the city and from nearby towns such as Cary, Garner and Millbrook. Some live a few blocks away, and others drive in for each visit. Either way, you are treated like family from the first phone call to the last appointment.
Meet the Raleigh Central Chiropractic Team
Two chiropractors lead the practice, and a friendly office staff keeps every visit on track. The doctors handle your exam, your adjustments and your rehab plan, while the office team takes care of scheduling and questions.
- Dr. Michael Ward, chiropractor
- Dr. Chad Chisholm, chiropractor
- Lois Ward, office manager
- Paula Pate, office assistant
Both doctors provide full spine adjustments, either by hand or with a small tool called the Activator instrument, along with the rehab and therapies offered in the office. Lois and Paula are often the first people you talk to, whether you are booking a first visit or checking on your next one. They can also help you plan visits around the office hours and answer questions about what to bring.
Why Health Is a Journey, Not a Destination
Our mission statement guides every visit: "True health is a journey, not a destination. We strive to inspire positive change in our patients through exemplary treatment, education, and example." Each part of it shapes how care works here.
Treatment is the part most people expect. Education matters just as much, so the doctors explain what they find on your exam, why a certain therapy fits and what you can do between visits. Simple changes to how you sit, lift and stretch can help your progress last. When you understand why your back or neck hurts, it becomes easier to avoid the habits that set it off again.
Example is the third piece. It is the reason the doctors coach patients to take an active role in their own health rather than relying on office visits alone. Patients who stay active between appointments tend to get more out of each one.
Care That Combines Structure, Rehab and Nutrition
Your spine protects the nervous system, which carries signals between your brain and the rest of your body. When joints in the spine stop moving well, the muscles and nerves around them often feel it. Adjustments are used to restore that motion, and rehab builds the strength that helps it hold.
Our rehab works from head to toe, with a focus on a strong, mobile core. Active rehab means exercises you perform yourself. Passive rehab includes therapies applied to you, such as cold laser therapy, massage and spinal decompression with the Cox Flexion Distraction technique.
At Raleigh Central Chiropractic & Rehab, diet and nutrition round out the plan, because what you eat affects how your body heals and how much energy you have to stay active. Some patients need a short course of care, while others do better with a longer rehab plan. The doctors explain the reason for each step and adjust the plan as you improve.

Questions About Our Practice
How long has Raleigh Central Chiropractic & Rehab been in practice?
Raleigh Central Chiropractic & Rehab has served patients in Glenwood South and Downtown Raleigh for more than 23 years. Over that time the practice has kept the same focus: finding the cause of pain, restoring motion in the spine and joints, and helping patients build the strength and habits that keep them moving well for the long term.
Who are the chiropractors at the practice?
Dr. Michael Ward and Dr. Chad Chisholm are the two chiropractors on staff. Both perform full spine adjustments, by hand or with the Activator instrument, and both oversee rehab plans. Lois Ward manages the office and Paula Pate assists at the front desk, so you will see familiar faces when you call, check in or book your next visit.
What does treating the underlying cause of pain mean?
It means the doctors look for the reason an area hurts rather than only easing the pain for a day or two. A stiff joint in the spine, a weak core or poor posture can all keep pain coming back. Your exam guides a plan of adjustments, rehab and home habits aimed at that source, so relief has a better chance to last.
Why is nutrition part of chiropractic care here?
Our approach pairs the structure and function of the spine and nervous system with diet and nutrition. What you eat affects inflammation, energy and how well tissues recover after strain or injury. The doctors can talk with you about nutrition supplements and weight loss programs when they fit your goals, alongside your adjustments and rehab.
